Hey Kids!
Have a LOT for you all to see
so today i will just cover the new hand-painted ceramics
(Seeing as the marketplace is this Saturday)
"The Unexpected Eruption" and "the Greeters"have made it safe to Howie's Tiki Bar in Texas
and are already making themselves comfortable on the walls...
But that will have to wait as i need time to prepare
a suitable tour thru the piece and the magnificent Monkeyman frames!
So i'll spend a short tiime chatting
will post the same verbage from my International Tiki Marketplace posting
and the rest will have to wait until i catch up on some zzzzzz's...

Wow Kinny. Mark is a lucky man. Those two pieces for Howie's Tiki Bar are absolutely fantastic. So much going on in each painting and yet they don't look too busy and overwhelming. That's one thing you certainly have a good knack for.
And i'll see you, the Toe and the Giant in a few months on my home turf. Yay!
Thanks Swiz! looking forward to jostling about with the mates in May!
i may have some prints available of these two pieces soon
so keep your eyes peeled....

after repeated passes ,finally nailed that LOOK! Yay!

without all the hype...
Hand-painted Kainoa Bowl
Safe to drink out of!
this one was inspired by the neon gravel and kitschy sculptures that lurk in only
the coolest of Aquariums...
ONE LOVE edition
sans cheesy Party City ad vibe...
and here are a bunch of hand-painted Poko Onos
spraypaint and one shot over ceramic and bisque
the bisque editions are for COLLECTORS only
but the ceramic ones are safe
(as they are glazed)to drink out of....
i will indicate SAFE or COLLECTOR ITEM
Poko Ono
TRAILER PARK edition
SAFE to drink from both the mug and shotglass
this one was inspired by the many vintage trailers
owned by dear friends,and just thought happy thoughts of this lil guy
basking in a knick knack window shelf travelling to a multitude of destinations...
Poko Ono
POKO ROJO edition
COLLECTOR ITEM-unsafe to drink from
This one was inspired by Perez Prado,Tijuana Taxis,
and Cockfights South of the Border
Poko Ono
POKO ONI edition
SAFE to drink from both the mug and shotglass
a vessel worthy of a Samurai's Tiki bar.
a Soft red glow suggests a mischievous Oni afoot...
Poko Ono
OSCAR edition
SAFE to drink from both the mug and shotglass
SHINY and CHROME you will be
Be it Valhalla or Hollywood
This is the Holy-Moly grail,kids!
i mean... BLUE CURTAINS and a nice script font...
classy and a bit smart-assey!
Poko Ono
MOLTEN GOLD edition
COLLECTOR ITEM-unsafe to drink from
As if Pele winked at Vulcan
and plucked this gem from his forge...
Poko Ono
ESKIMO edition
COLLECTOR ITEM-unsafe to drink from
Evocative of the Upper North
with Haida paintings and Wendigos
prowling the Wintery wastelands
searching for a libation....
Poko Ono
HARLEQUIN 2 edition
SAFE to drink from both the mug and shotglass
Had so much fun with this concept
i decided to play with the theme
in a slightly different colors and arrangement.
Poko Ono
HOT EMBER edition
COLLECTOR ITEM-unsafe to drink from
Pulled straight from the cupboard of Pele
Black singed leaves,a bold logo,and hypnotic eyes
adorn this Red hot piece.
Poko Ono
JADE edition
SAFE to drink from the mug
shotglass is bisque COLLECTOR ITEM-unsafe to drink from
Neon enamel scumbled over a black enamel base
gives this piece both a visual and textural delight.
Like holding a precious rough stone
awaiting polishing...
Poko Ono
HOT STUFF edition
SAFE to drink from both the mug and shotglass
I think this is one of my favorites out of this fun lil explosion
of hand-painting... Besides the usual Marvel fare,i would delve into
the Harvey comics when nothing else was around....
especially Hot Stuff...
Anyways,i think it was that
and maybe Archie McFee's Rubber Devil Duck
That were the starting points
of this fun lil hand-painted goodie....
Be sure and come down and say "Aloha" and visit a bit this Saturday!
I'll have a bunch of fun goodies for you to check out or even adopt!
